Rick plays and records with a wide range of acoustic and electronic instruments including synthesizers, theremins, stylophones, melodicas, guitars and other instruments and devices too numerous and/or bizarre to list.

Many of Rick's musical creations can be streamed for free at BandCamp, SoundCloud andYouTube. To inquire about licensing his music for video, film or other media productions, send Rick an email.

In addition to recording, Rick occasionally performs in music venues around Denver and Boulder, Colorado.

Rick's 2017 album,

Moth to a Flame, released under Rick's performance pseudonym "Phlogiston Theory," is a compilation of improvisational recordings made between Summer 2016 and Autumn 2017. Most of the recordings were created with modular synthesizers that self-generate musical patterns via control voltage manipulation. There are also some dark, sinister drones created with theremins and other assorted instruments.

Rick's 2015 album, Calculated Risk, is a compilation of improvisational recordings that cultivate elements of chance introduced by various audio and control voltage processing devices. Several of the tracks were created almost exclusively with Moog moogerfooger effects pedals. Other tracks feature a Moog Slim Phatty, a Moog Theremini and a vintage Hammond E-111 tone wheel organ.
